TERRAenVISION Environmental Issues Today: Scientific Solutions for Societal Issues
Our Planet suffers from human activities. As scientists, we know more and more about our environment, about processes, rates of change, new threats and risks. However, the challenges seem to grow quicker than the solutions we can create.
This conference aims to focus on the scientific research towards finding solutions for the societal issues of our time. TERRAenVISION promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and networking. To bring scientists and stakeholders that have the same goal, work on the same societal issue, but have different scientific backgrounds. By bringing the people and their knowledge together, we may be able to take the steps towards solutions that can bring our society to a more sustainable situation. In this conference, we want to link to International policies such as the sustainable Development Goals, the UN Climate conventions, CAP and COP.
Environmental issues we would like to highlight and discuss:
This conference is framed around themes. Each theme is kicked off by two plenary keynote speeches of 20 min, followed by a discussion. After the plenary session, a range of different parallel sessions will be organised.
We also want to stress that the conference is not only for scientists, but also warmly would like to invite people from outside the scientific world.
The themes:
1. Climate change: Mitigation and Adaptation
2. Water Resources: Quality and Quantity
3. Land Degradation and Restoration
4. Nature based solutions
5. Fire in the earth system, effects and prevention
6. Ecosystem services and Health
7. Science interface: with policy and public

Betreff: Question from Argentina
Dears
I commented that I am in my doctoral thesis work at the National University of Buenos Aires, Accounting guidance. My thesis topic is Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), its implementation in forestry, with emphasis on forests of Mesopotamia Argentina (eucaliptus and pine).
My question is the following: You know in IUFRO some researcher or group of researchers that is doing some work on EMA in forestry?
Very grateful for the help
Regards,
Andrés Mancini

Betreff: Invitation to Decision Support Systems Conference
Dear colleagues, dear friends!
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to participate at the international
and interdisciplinary conference "The 19th Open Conference of the IFIP WG
8.3 on Decision Support Systems" (IFIP DSS 2018) which will take place in
Ljubljana, Slovenia, June 13-15, 2018.
Please, see the detailed information at http://ifip2018dss.ijs.si/
The theme of the conference "DSS Research Delivering High Impacts to
Business and Society" highlights the main purpose of the DSS: providing
support to people and organizations faced with difficult decision problems
in a variety of contexts. This requires applying the DSS expertise to
problems that arise in other disciplines, such as specific business areas, ,
ecology, natural sciences, management, social affairs, healthcare, media and
many others. The DSS researchers should collaborate with other domains of
expertise and leverage the DSS expertise to solve other people's problems.
On this basis, we aim to continue the success of past IFIP WG 8.3
conferences in supporting the dissemination of quality research, but also to
provide a memorable experience through our hospitality and conference
facilities in Ljubljana, the European Green Capital 2016. The 2018 IFIP WG
8.3 conference is organized by Jozef Stefan Institute, the largest Slovenian
research institute, supported by several other institutions and in
celebration of the 20th anniversary of the 1998 IFIP WG 8.3 conference that
was held in Bled, Slovenia.
The IFIP WG 8.3 conference committees welcomes both academic and
practitioner community contributions on a wide range of topics using a range
of scholarly approaches that showcase the latest innovations and
achievements in decision support and decision making. Submitted
contributions that showcase methodological advances and real case studies
will be especially welcomed. All contributions will be peer-reviewed and the
acceptance of a contribution will be based on the originality of the work,
the relevance to the conference theme and its overall quality.
The 2018 Open Conference of the IFIP WG 8.3 will highlight the applications,
methods, analytics, stakeholders and impacts of decision making and decision
support in today's society, business and environment.
Important dates
Submissions: December 15, 2017
Author notification: February 15, 2018
Final submissions: March 15, 2018
Early registration deadlines: April 15, 2018
Conference: June 13-15, 2018
Many thanks for considering this invitation and hope to see you in Ljubljana

Subject: Input to the 2019 GSDR
Dear Colleagues,
We are writing to request your input to the 2019 Global Sustainable
Development Report (GSDR). The GSDR, mandated by the United Nations' Member
States in the outcome document of the 2012 Rio + 20 conference, is meant to
strengthen the science-policy interface and provide a strong evidence-based
instrument to support policymakers in promoting poverty eradication and
sustainable development.
The GSDR is being drafted by an independent group of scientists (IGS),
supported by a task team of six UN-system agencies. Profiles of the 15 IGS
members are found here:
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/globalsdreport/2019)
As part of its outreach efforts, the IGS is soliciting inputs from a diverse
group of scientific and non-scientific communities, from all over the world,
in the form of publications supported by short abstracts or descriptions of
case studies. Currently, we are requesting contributions in four major
areas:
(1) interactions among SDGs and their targets,
(2) transformation pathways towards sustainable development;
(3) looking beyond the SDGs (major issues identified by research which are
not explicitly taken into account in the SDGs), and
(4) the role of science for sustainable development. Contributions will be
acknowledged in the GSDR.
If you are interested in contributing to this important exercise, please
follow the below link to a questionnaire.

With many thanks and kind regards,
